Music Education and SEL: The Heart of Teaching Music
Listen now
Description
As music educators, we are well aware of the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), especially in the wake of pandemic learning and teaching.  But what might it look like in the music classrooms?  What opportunities are we including - and missing - for seamless inclusion of SEL in music ed?  This podcast with Dr. Scott Edgar focuses on the possibilities for practicing SEL in the music classroom - both with adults and students.  Dr. Edgar also reminds us of the necessity of an equity lens in our SEL practice, common SEL stumbling blocks (and how to overcome them), as well as future learning opportunities for teachers in regards to SEL in music classrooms.  Listen in and get a few new ideas to try this week - and beyond! https://musicedforward.com/podcast/22
